You shorted the 2014 version on playability a bit. The interior crane extends over the top, and the "decorations" in the back compartment were actually an attachable claw and magnet for the crane.
Just what I thought. Won’t give a cent for that. The 2014 model is very expensive. 300 dollar for a sandcrawler to play with? C’mon! For me the 2018 model is underrated. I‘d like to have Owen Lars, one more Jawa and droid and it would be very nice for the money. Just my 2 cents.
I think it was awesome growing up and playing with lego star wars between 2005-2010. The prices already were very high for toys, I felt really special and for christmas I'd get one big set each year... Being the star destroyer, gunship, idk. Battle packs felt pretty affordable, being not much more expensive than a small pack of pokemon cards. Needless to say it was easy to amass your own star wars universe in lego over the course of 5 years if every single time for your birthday, christmas or whatnot, you asked for lego star wars. When I now take a nostalgic trip to the lego star wars isle in a kids' store, I feel disgusted. They've become luxury goods for only the richest kids. Combine this with increased prices for consoles and shit and how could a child have all of these things still? It makes me sad that my magical childhood will not be affordable for even the current generation. Besides, you raise another great point: smaller size. I got the sandrawler 2005 edition after I aced all my exams in high school, kindof a bet I had with dad. Yeah, it's shittier than 2015 version, but had so many blocks I built like 3 other things with it over the years. It's one of lego's key selling points that you can build other things with the blocks you get, and I just don't see how much things you can build with the insane amount of money spent on that 2018 abomination.
Jordan McGaw I know- but it still could've been a little bigger for the $140 price point- but it's because of Disney taxes %100. They probably make LEGO pay so much for using Star Wars and that's why the sets are more expensive.
@@LegoGamer5502 yeah you're not wrong, its a shame all the sets have become so much more expensive, try living in Australia!! Some of the sets are ridiculously priced, and we don't get many clearances, so it's down to eBay 20% of codes... Ridiculous here, makes a set like the sandcrawler just stupid to buy
Your friend comes to your house, he sees your 2018 lego sand crawler. While you're in the other room he wants to get a better look at it so he picks it up holding the middle. It then breaks as soon as he touches it and he leaves your house immediately and moves to Bolivia with a new identity.
For the 2014 one, the droid you couldn't find is hidden throughout the set, in secret compartments and crates, only for the adventurous LEGO builders out there!
Although the new one is so small, it is something I wish I would’ve bought when it came out, it’s doesn’t take up to much space and you still get a lot from it. Not a bad set, just very disappointing in the size comparison to what the older ones look like
Just finished building my 2014 UCS Sandcrawler. Had to breakdown and dust the first six bags as I bought it used, but the rest was mint in package. Amazing build experience! I would tear it down and rebuild it again just for the fun if it wasn't for those pesky brown plates. SO BRITTLE! Favorite USC set to date, behind AT-AT.
When I got my original sandcrawler as a kid my C3p0 was as pale as the hands, then my brother got one a couple months later and it was the same as yours. I think there was a reproduction or something.
This was so informational and I thank you because I was going to ask my parents for a sand crawler and all I have to do know is show them the video thanksss👍
Man these Lego Star Wars sets just get smaller and smaller and more pricier. I stopped buying them in...2012ish and even then it was getting rough, but my middle version Clone Gunship is much more massive compared to that tiny Sandcrawler and only cost 120 back then Also the new X Wings are smaller and are 90 fucking euro?! my old X-Wing came with Yodas Hut, was bigger and was like 60
The Papillon Warrior most of the Star Wars ones are about 10 cents per brick. But I agree, they’re still way too expensive for what you get most of the time.
In this video: guy explains why he likes the most expensive set under the guise of 'working out' which is the best. He knew who he was going to crown the winner going into this.
I agree 50 to 60 dollars cuz like it has no playability not many mini figures not a good desing its small as hell and youd expect people to pay 140 dollars or so
From watching all these comparison video's of yours, I see a common trend. I noticed that there is this trend of me liking the 2014 sets the best. I wasn't into lego any more back in 2014 so I seem to have missed out on a great era of lego star wars
Personally I have no issues with the latest versions of the Sandcrawler or the MTT. Downsizing isn’t an issue in my view, BUT the price has to downsize to match. The newest MTT and the newest Sandcrawler only suffered really from a far too high price tag for what they are. They also sacrificed minifigure count trying to be cheap. I don’t think the designers did a bad job on either of them, but the person in charge of selling did.
I’m so glad you made this video. I’m looking for an lego set for me to buy, but I’m having a bit of trouble to decide(and i’m also cursed(or it’s just lego) for always thinking older sets are good) since there are many options. Cool vid
When you showed the broken pieces that reminded me of how all of my 2015 and 2016 Bionicle sets are breaking. I complain to lego and they said don't keep in sunlight even though I told them I'm a collector who takes care of my things. Its a pathetic sight to see these sets fall apart while my old ones look brand new even though they're nearly 20 years old toys that were loved a lot.
The crane on the inside of the UCS one can actually be extended upwards and over the side the sandcrawler to pick droids up from the outside just like the 2005 sandcrawler.
UCS Set was 300$, 2018 is 140$ Half the price for half the size and half the minifigs... The designs are both comparable aesthetically.. Granted, the UCS looks more majestic in the larger form when side by side. But, even if the UCS is "so much better" as you say; good luck finding one for $300 today. You're looking at more than 750$ - probably over 1000$ at this point. It's great if you already owned the older models, you've won. But if you're buying today from scratch... I don't know if I'd recommend the 2014. You have to be a really serious Lego collector to justify spending that much cash on a retired set. Think I'd just buy a UCS Falcon at that point if I had that much cash to spend on Lego...
This video makes me kinda sad. I've always wanted to have the sandcrawler set, and I just recently saw it in stores and got excited because I actually had my own job and can afford it, but it is very underwhelming and cant decide if I'm going to buy It or not.
